SUMMARY:Behind the Bottle: A Montana Wine Pairing Experience
DESCRIPTION:An intimate\, immersive evening celebrating Montana wine—from vine to glass. \n\n\n\n\nStep behind the label and into the story of Montana wine. \nBehind the Bottle: A Montana Wine Pairing Experience is a thoughtfully curated wine pairing dinner showcasing the depth\, craftsmanship\, and character of wines grown and made right here in Montana. Each course of the evening’s menu is intentionally paired with a Montana-grown\, Montana-made wine\, highlighting the journey from vineyard to glass and the people who bring it to life. \nThroughout the dinner\, the winemakers will be present\, sharing insights into their vineyards\, winemaking philosophies\, and the unique growing conditions that make Montana wine so special. This is more than a pairing—it’s a conversation\, a connection\, and a celebration of our growing wine community. \nFollowing the seated dinner\, guests are invited to stay for “Happier Hour”\, a relaxed meet-and-greet with the winemakers. Attendees will have the opportunity to sample additional Montana wines\, mingle with fellow wine lovers\, and explore offerings from other Montana wineries\, including those not directly featured in the dinner courses. \nWhether you’re a seasoned wine enthusiast or newly curious about Montana wine\, this evening offers a rare opportunity to taste\, learn\, and connect—one glass at a time. \nTickets must be purchased by February 26th in order to guarantee all courses are available. Please contact the host if after this date. Accommodations will be made if available.

SUMMARY:Prune-the-Moon! Workshop with Moon-Randolph Homestead
DESCRIPTION:orchard. \n\n\n\n\nThis workshop will equip beginners with the knowledge necessary to maintain pruning tools\, observe fruit tree growth patterns\, prioritize pruning strategies unique to each tree\, and make effective pruning cuts. \nWorkshop starts at 2pm. with a group orientation\, followed by hands-on pruning in small groups\, and food! \nIn the late 1800s and early 1900s\, the Missoula and the Bitterroot Valleys produced a huge amount of apples. Many of those heritage trees remain in yards and gardens throughout the area… just waiting for a patient hand to steward them back to health. \nBe sure to wear gloves and appropriate clothing for cold and wet spring weather. Don’t forget drinking water and the desire to get to know a tree. For those with pruning equipment\, bring along handsaws\, pole saws\, loppers\, hand shears\, sharpening stones\, files\, and orchard ladders\, etc. There will be plenty of tools for the empty-handed. \nNo dogs please. Children are welcome but must be attended by an adult. \nTo find out more about the Moon-Randolph Homestead\, visit: \nwww.moonrandolphhomestead.org \nMany thanks to our partners:

SUMMARY:Blooms & Brews - One Flower\, One Place: Spotlight on Missoula's Endemic Wildflower
DESCRIPTION:Nestled in the windswept\, arid ridges of Missoula’s North Hills grows an endemic wildflower found nowhere else on Earth. Dr. Meredith Zettlemoyer (University of Montana) will share her lab’s new research program studying how the endemic Missoula phlox (Phlox missoulensis) survives\, reproduces\, and fits into its ecological and evolutionary neighborhood. We will discuss the remarkable floral diversity of this species\, its population health\, how it’s related to similar species\, and how it interacts with the local plant and pollinator community. By understanding Missoula phlox’s evolution and ecology\, we hope to help guide conservation for this rare species and the unique ecosystem it depends on.
